Pros
- Is a healthcare system in licking county, Ohio - is basically a landing point for any Columbus doctor that needs to wait out a non-compete in Columbus
Cons
- administrators, largely, lack healthcare backgrounds - the executive turnover has been next to zero over the past decade - I’ve never worked at an institution with higher physician turnover - the CEO, specifically, has medical pet projects which you’re expected to participate in. Forget if said initiative has evidence supporting it. - if you question said priorities, you might find yourself terminated without cause (Ohio is a “right to work” state) - the best thing that could happen for the population of licking county is either: 1.) the board agitates for a massive change in leadership 2.) a competent health system buys Licking Memorial Health Systems - this rural health system has had staying power because it owns quite a bit of property in a county adjacent to Columbus and in which major infrastructure projects are underway (I.e. Intel) - Licking Memorial Health Systems has had staying power because it is a real estate holding company masquerading as a health care system.
